A Message to Republicans From a White, Southern, Semi-rich, Old Man

This was back in 2009.

TRANSCRIPT:
Joey Styles is knocking President Barack Obama, who as we speak right now is live on the air talking about the way he's gonna fix some things with General Motors' bankruptcy, talking about his new appointment to the Supreme Court, talking about some of the steps that he has made. He's done more in 4 months than the previous Administration did in 8 years to get the country back on the right track. But, Joey Styles is calling Barack Obama a Marxist. He's saying Notre Dame should have been ashamed for having him speak there because he's pro-choice, blah, blah, blah. I tell ya, I agree Notre Dame should be ashamed, ashamed that there was even any debate about it because they are a university where young people are supposed to be taught facts by people who are distinguished in America and not a church where people are brainwashed or whatever by the abortion issue. So, I don't know Joey Styles. I met him a couple of times but I understand that he fancied himself hot shit as an announcer from other people. And, maybe he might have been when he had the benefit of ECW's 48 hour editing sessions and Paul Heyman in his ear telling him every word to say. But, on his own, I don't believe he can carry Dave Brown's jock much less be viewed in a group with Jim Ross or Gordon Soli, Lance Russell or whatever. But, Joey Styles is also apparently one of these conservative, right-wing, whack jobs that just can't accept the fact that we had this little deal last November called an "Election" where the Republican ideology got slapped down and finally we got a President who realizes it's 2009 and not 1909, and I guess he's pissed off about it. Now, I can understand four groups not liking the fact that Barack Obama is President: rich, white collar criminals; white christian evangelists; members of the KKK and; maybe white people from West Virginia and Mississippi.

And, I don't know which group that Styles belongs to but maybe he just doesn't believe that women should have the right not to ruin their lives with unwanted, unplanned children that they can't afford or can't take care of, so that they grow up to become criminals because they had no home life, they had no proper parenting. Or, maybe Joey Styles doesn't believe that gay people should have the right to get married and be happy like everybody else or handicapped people should have the right to support stem cell research so one of these days through science.....science, something the Republicans don't recognize, handicapped people or people like them may be able to live a normal life. Children shouldn't have the right, I guess, to learn science and evolution and astronomy and things like that in school that allows them to get good jobs and earn decent money and not that the earth is 6,000 years old, was created in one day and human beings popped up fully formed and they had no trouble at all until a talking snake screwed the whole thing up.

Or maybe, Joey Styles doesn't believe that the rest of us in the richest most advanced country on the planet should have health care that doesn't cost as much as a new car every year. Or the right not to go bankrupt if we get sick with no insurance. Or maybe Styles is related to the head of one of these big pharmaceutical companies or oil companies that rape us every time we take a pill or fill up our tanks. Or maybe Joey Styles is a multi-billionaire and all these alleged sky-high taxes that Barack Obama is going to level on us, are going to cost him way more than the 50% that we all lost on our retirements or our stock market funds under his good buddies President Dick Cheney and Vice President George W. Bush, because we all know who was running things. Maybe Styles never went to school and didn't learn the lesson of the first Great Depression. When FDR did the same thing that Obama is doing, stimulated the economy by making massive investments in rebuilding the crumbling infrastructure, planning to take the country into the future and putting people back to work to do it. Maybe Styles overlooks the fact or maybe he's just not bright enough to know, that the only reason it took so long and got worse before it got better back then, was because the obstructionist Republicans, who haven't changed their tune since the Great Depression, badgered and blocked everything that he did and caused him, FDR I'm talking about, to back off before the job was done and we had to get the biggest world war ever waged before they'd get out of his way.

And, I'm just sick and fed up. I listen to the news every day. I listen to this conservative talk radio in the car, because I want to get mad 'cause I'm driving a long way, I want something to keep me awake. The Republicans drove the country into a ditch, they're complaining about the cost of the tow truck. The Republicans scream about the loss of all of these freedoms and liberties and constitutional rights after 8 years of an administration that subverted and circumvented, outright ignored more of the Constitution than any other in history. Refused to grant all those groups that I mentioned and more of them, their civil rights because it conflicts with what they get told in church on Sunday and that the whole church and State thing is covered in the Constitution too, by the way. the Constitution too, by the way. But maybe Joey Styles likes the idea that his previous Administration responded to the worst attack on the US ever, worse than the bombing of Pearl Harbor for fuck's sake, by going to war worse than the bombing of Pearl Harbor for fuck's sake, by going to war with the wrong country. Never getting close to catching and bombing the shit out of the guy that really did it and spending almost as much money to do that over the past 8 years as Obama wants to spend to save the whole fricking country's economy. Or maybe Joey Styles likes the idea that under Republican ideology after 2000 years of this shit, the Christians and the Muslims are still playing a game of "my God can whip your God". Only instead of rocks and spears now we're using nuclear weapons and all the rest of us who have sane, sanity, reason and logic going for us are gonna be fucked up too when this dark ages shit hits the 21st century fan.

Maybe Joey Styles doesn't really believe any of this shit, he's just trying to blow Vince McMahon to get back on the air somewhere, cause I guess Vince is a big time Republican too, we never talked about politics when I was there but I guess he is now. That's what I hear on the Internet. Maybe Styles is like Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity or all these people I listen to that...that are... you know they're too smart to really believe the shit that they say, they're heels cutting promos and it's obvious. And they're doing it for the marks that are dumb enough to believe it and they get paid big money to do it but in the process they're convincing these other mullets that what they're saying is true and they're dividing the country. Just like Cheney, who can't stop talking about how "we were right, we were right," and go the fuck home like Bush had the good common sense to do and get out of the fucking way. They're dividing the fucking country. I don't care about Joey Styles either way he can turn blue or roll over for all I care. I'm just sick of all these assholes squealing like a pig under a gate about everything that this guy is trying to do being "un-American" 'cause it's going to affect their church service, their secret offshore bank account or just piss 'em off because he's right and they're not. And what's more un-American than publicly hoping the President of the United States fails? That's like hoping the pilot of your airplane fails because you don't like his opinion on global warming. We're all in this together you fucking morons. You hope he fails? If he fails we're fucked! Jesus! There's enough poor, white uneducated Christians in this country that could be rabble-roused to do something screwy by these nutjob politicians and commentators saying these things on national radio and television. And the best thing they could come up with is "Obama uses a teleprompter." Obama uses a teleprompter because he's got something of substance to say and wants to convey the message. Bush didn't use one because he probably couldn't read English much better than he could speak it and all he had to say was "trust me" and "God Bless America." He ought to have added "The check's in the mail" and "I won't come in your mouth."

The Republicans don't like people who take it up the ass but they haven't had a problem giving it to us for the last 8 years. And one last thing, does any... anybody out there...does anybody honestly think if there was any real evidence of scandal or dishonestly or malfeasance in Barack Obama's personal or political life? Did he cheat on his wife? Did he take a payoff? Was he really not born in the United States of America? They went there. Do you not think that somebody would have proven it by now before a black guy named Barack Obama got elected in the first place? More people were trying to keep him from getting elected than were trying to prosecute Charles Manson for the Sharon Tate murders. You fucking morons. You knuckle dragging, mouth breathing idiots. We have finally got a fuckin' guy that's clean that they don't like and they can't stand it. And maybe Joey Styles and all the rest of the people who believe that this brilliant, analytical, sensible, reasonable guy, who's like we've hired a professor to solve our problems -- all you people that believe he's a socialist or a Marxist or a radical or whatever, shut the fuck up, get the fuck out of his way and let him try to fix our shit before its too late. And in four years you get another chance to knock us back into the 19th century. It makes me want to tear my hair out of my fucking head. This guy is actually talking to us instead of at us and they won't fucking listen. He's got every brilliant mind that he can gather, that has a vision for the future standing behind him every time he does anything. He's assembled a star, all-star team for every problem. He's trying to fix everything at the same time, they say he's not doing too much. But if he didn't do anything about something they'd say "well, he's doing too little." You can't fucking please 'em 'cause they can't stand the fact that this guy is smarter than all of 'em and doesn't agree with any of 'em. Fuck 'em! Stay the fuck out of my country, you fucking morons. I'd like to make my fucking money back I lost the last two years. I'd like to have bridges that don't fucking fall down when I drive over them. I'd like to have civil rights for everybody and not just fucking people that can buy them. I'd like to not pay a fortune for my fucking health care on the theory that one of these days I'm gonna have a heart attack because of some of the shit they put me through. And fuck Vince McMann and his Republican shit too.

Organically

In ever-questing search for the most subjectively interesting people to me, I had an epiphany.
First, chatrooms suck for means of knowing someone, maybe that isn't their point in the first place, maybe it's just a place for arguing, dicking around, or making the least subtle innuendos in the history of mankind.
Second, you can't build a house without a foundation, meaning you can't just magically befriend someone. This isn't just an internet social issue, this is an issue for anyone who has liked someone for no good goddamn reason except emotions. Things must form organically. For instance, every friend I've ever had that worth a damn was made not out of one of us wanting it, but out of circumstance. And I'm sure it's the same thing for you too. Any relationship won't last long if there isn't a base for how you two relate to each other. That's why things like the wireclub fail more than succeed. Or any sort of place of interaction because it's never of circumstance or coincidence but one of necessity for one of the people involved.

Call it what you will, fate, the will of the gods, but relationships must come out of accident, not because you are searching .
